As I understand it, the $(...) syntax is the preferred way of nesting, |
| 12 |
as opposed to backticks. I think this may be due to backticks requiring |
| 13 |
some special escaping that the $(...) syntax does not require. I |
| 14 |
attempted a brief search for supporting information, but didn't find a |
| 15 |
definitive source to back up my claims :) |
